Chapter 851: Cooking Milk Tea
The shredded pork noodles were still hot when they were put into the bowl. Pei Yu blew on them to cool them down before feeding them to her.
Pei Yu said, "Jinxing, I'll cook a pot of milk tea for you. Does Shushu want black tea or green tea?"
Wen Shu thought for a moment and said, "I want green tea."
The milk tea made from black tea seems to taste more mellow and rich. Now that the weather is hot, she wants to drink something refreshing.
Gu Jinxing replied, "Okay, I cook less green tea milk tea. I cooked it once before. The taste is similar to the milk tea in the milk tea shop. Shushu should like it."
Wen Shu no longer remembers what 'milk tea' tastes like, but this doesn't stop her from thinking that Gu Jinxing is amazing.
Wen Shu, "You are amazing. Have you cooked all kinds of milk tea?"
Gu Jinxing smiled and said, "It's just a hobby. I remember the recipes of many delicious foods, but I am too busy at work and don't cook them often."
In fact, when he applied for the position of life assistant, he heard that the boss was difficult to serve. He was worried about losing this good job, so he took extra time to learn a lot.
Unexpectedly, after officially joining the company, he found that the boss was not as picky as others said, but was just serious, responsible and cautious.
However, Gu Jinxing felt that there was no need to mention this point. It was all in the past. It always felt like he was taking credit for it.
Everyone ate noodles while chatting. There was a circle of ice cubes in the house, and there was a fan, so it was not too hot.
After dinner, everyone rested for a while and started to prepare milk tea.
Everyone was very interested in making milk tea and wanted to learn it.
When preparing the ingredients in the early stage, Wen Shu couldn't help, so she stood in front of the window with Xiao Pingguo in her arms, wanting to see the scenery outside.
Who knew that after it got dark outside, the town looked a little gloomy no matter how you looked at it.
The town is no longer inhabited, and the street lights are not on. It can only be illuminated by moonlight.
The moonlight is not as bright and warm as the sun, so naturally there are many places that cannot be reached. The whole town is dark, and some fireflies can be seen flying in the distance.
Wen Shu and Xiao Pingguo were attracted by the fireflies, and their cat eyes stared at the fireflies.
I really want to catch one to play with.
Pei Yu, "Shu Shu, do you want to take a video? We are ready to start."
Wen Shu reluctantly withdrew her gaze. Just as she was about to turn around with Little Apple in her arms, she caught a glimpse of a black thing flashing before her eyes. It looked like a huge black mass. Wen Shu
was startled. She didn't see the shape of the mass clearly. She hurriedly carried Little Apple back to Pei Yu's side, next to Pei Yu, looking a little nervous.
Wen Shu, "A black mass just ran past. I don't know what it is, it's so big."
Everyone stopped what they were doing. Xiao Ye strode to the window and checked the situation outside.
Gu Jinxing pushed his glasses and looked at Little Apple first. He found that Little Apple was staring at the window with interest, and guessed, "Is it a mouse?"
This is the second floor, and the ball of things flashed by again. Mice also have this ability.
Pei Yu hugged Wen Shu and patted her on the back, "It's possible, it could be a bat or an owl, or just an evolved flying insect, the shadow is stretched and enlarged a lot in the moonlight."
Xiao Ye checked it and didn't find anything wrong, "It's okay, it may be a small animal of unknown species, our windows are all closed, don't be afraid, Shushu."
Wen Shu blinked and said yes obediently.
In fact, she was not very scared.
This little episode did not have much impact, and everyone quickly got into the making of milk tea.
Gu Jinxing, the only one who can cook in the team, stood in front of the pot, putting the ingredients in and explaining to them.
"Generally speaking, about 10 grams of green tea and 50 grams of sugar are enough. Put them in the pot first and stir-fry over low heat until the sugar melts and turns caramel color. When it is mixed with the green tea leaves, you can add the right amount of water."
"After adding water, stir well, then add pure milk. The amount of pure milk is also appropriate. You can decide the amount yourself. After adding milk, stir well and cook for a while. After boiling, you can pour it out for use. When pouring it out, you need to filter it with a filter. I usually filter it twice."
Huh?
What is the right amount?
Xiao Ye was a little confused and only understood half of what he heard.
Wen Shu was recording on the sofa opposite them with her phone, and she also recorded his scratching face.
Pei Yu didn't really understand at the moment, but he took a small notebook to write it down, including the estimation of the amount of water and milk that Gu Jinxing put in this time. If you make it yourself in the future, you can just reduce or enlarge the proportion, and the taste shouldn't be much different.
You will get used to it after doing it a few times.
The tea base is not difficult to make and it was cooked quickly. Gu Jinxing filtered it skillfully and put the pot of milk tea aside to cool for later use.
Gu Jinxing said, "Now that the milk tea is ready, we can get a new pot and cook some small ingredients. Tapioca pearls, taro balls, etc., just put them in water and cook them. Tapioca pearls need to be cooked for a longer time, until they are transparent."
He put all the small ingredients into the pot and planned to cook them all at once.
The air was filled with a sweet smell, a little strong, because Wen Shu and Xiao Ye both liked sweet food, so Gu Jinxing put more sugar when cooking milk tea.
Anyway, he and Pei Yu didn't drink it often, so they prepared it for Wen Shu, and Xiao Ye's portion was made casually.
Gu Jinxing said, "Put the tapioca pearls and taro balls in the pot later. They are cooked and will be sticky. You can add them to the milk tea now."
The milk tea, which looked a bit bland, became richer in color after adding the small ingredients. It really looked like the ones in the milk tea shops.
The tapioca pearls took a little longer to cook. When the tapioca pearls were cooked and added to the milk tea, the milk tea was ready.
Gu Jinxing looked at his work with satisfaction, "It's still hot, you can put it in a storage box and cool it down with ice cubes. When you want to drink it, add some ice cubes to it, it will taste much better."
Wen Shu couldn't wait to drag the storage box with ice cubes over, "Put it here."
Xiao Ye put a pot of milk tea in the middle of the storage box. There were ice cubes all around the pot, and the milk tea was still steaming.
Pei Yu touched Wen Shu's head, "I just finished my meal, don't worry."
Wen Shu hummed, "So much, can we finish it tonight?"
Pei Yu, "If you can't finish it, you can put it in the space, so that when you want to drink it in the future, you can take it out and drink it directly."
Wen Shu's eyes lit up, "So convenient!"
Pei Yu smiled, "It is very convenient, but you can't drink too much, Shushu, don't think about drinking every day."
